Weather Prediction | 天气预报

点击查看中英对照

A film crew was on location deep in the wilderness. One day, an old Native American man approached the director and said, "Rain tomorrow." The next day, it rained. A week later, he approached the director again and said, "Hailstorm tomorrow." The next day, there was a hailstorm.

"This man is incredible," said the director. He instructed his secretary to hire the man as a weather predictor.

After several more successful predictions, however, the old man did not appear for two weeks.

Finally, the director sent for him. "I have to shoot a major scene tomorrow," said the director, "and I'm counting on you. What will the weather be like?"

The man shrugged his shoulders. "Don't know," he said. "Radio is broken."
